The U.S.-Israel military campaign against Iran that began February 28, 2026, has triggered the largest oil price shock since the 1970s, with WTI crude surging 66% in a single week and the Strait of Hormuz effectively shut down. Investors face a dilemma with no modern precedent: a president whose war aims keep shifting, a stagflation threat that has broken the traditional crisis playbook of fleeing to bonds, and a market that swung wildly on March 9 after Trump suggested the conflict might be "pretty much" over — leaving Wall Street uncertain whether to buy the dip or brace for a deeper correction.
